Description
Indulge in the delightful combination of waffles and cinnamon rolls, topped with a creamy glaze for a comforting breakfast.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for the swirl)
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s guidance.
- Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Blend melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped.
- Lightly grease the waffle iron. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter into the center, then pipe a spiral of the cinnamon mixture onto the batter.
- Close the waffle iron and cook until golden and crisp, approximately 3–4 minutes per waffle. Repeat until all batter and swirl are used.
- Beat cream cheese until smooth in a bowl. Add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, mixing until the glaze is pourable.
- Serve waffles warm, generously drizzling with the cream cheese topping.
Notes
For best texture, rest the batter for 10 minutes after mixing. Customize the cream cheese glaze with a hint of maple syrup for added sweetness.
